In the story of the Maple Ridge Goose, author Noreen Strout captures the intense emotions that she experienced when a goose tries against all odds to build a nest and raise her goslings while mortal enemies seek to steal them away. Witnessing the frustrated geese year after year has been internalized by the author due to her own life experiences that will ultimately give way to overwhelming delight when the enemy is defeated at last. Could it be true that there really is a God in the heavens who created us and is willing and able to help us if we will only call upon Him? What amazing things will God do when you ask for Him to help you?
